developers use their heads, but the way to their hearts is through
their stomachs. So this month, use your head to fill your stomach with
free pizza and beer. It's simple. The two user groups that review the
most Manning new releases or Manning Early Access Program (MEAP) books
during the month of October will win a Manning-sponsored shindig for
the whole group.
Here's
how to win

1. Publish book reviews for any Manning new release or MEAP you've read in the month
of October. They can be posted on your user
group site, Slashdot, Amazon, or personal blogs. Book reviews must be at least 200
words and they can cover any 2009 release or MEAP.
2. Each
time a review is published, email stho at manning.com [mailto:stho at manning.com].
In the body of the email, include the review URL, the user group name and the
line "Give us some pizza and beer." You can send URLs as they are published.Have
  fun, and get the whole user group involved! The two winning user groups will
receive $500, which they can use to feed their group. [More details [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102730982752&s=167854&e=0013j-LX5x4APXig6o001lsLfzNm7Y4t0OBzyi73JcJrnLqNCB5sE2Z4oaBevI-lznD2xsELazbX61ys-pVVjQ5Efe19QOwAYPNT-duTe54BIx8g6KYpJsKHUMPcSlrVnCM]]
